"Constraints make us more creative"
See classic Lego and it's spiritual digital counterpart "Minecraft" for how constraints to only classic brick blocks inspires one. I had two red Lego brick buckets (and a handful of Lego City sets). Most useful to build almost anything were the Lego bricks from the big buckets. The Lego City sets supplied only special parts needed to build cars, and door mechanics, and figures.
And back in 1990s Lego sets contained many traditional parts too. Nowadays, there are too many special parts. Younger kids who only got Lego sets and no Lego buckets have never experienced the freedom to create anything. They often simply build the set once and play a little bit and put it aside. Unfortunately even the latest Lego brick buckets nowadays contain way too many special parts and not enough classic brick to build anything. How many buckets do one need to build three houses nowadays?
To you "lego moc". I saw several professional photos. These builds cost a lot, I guess. But I am talking about Lego for kids. Buying a Lego bucket isn't enough nowadays, a kid won't be able to build things like you with a handful of Lego sets + a bucket. A kid would need to wish dozends of Lego sets just to get "random" parts.
